I'm on the same boat. Cept I somehow managed to get my lipkit and coils. Now I'm broke and need a job to get some new wheels.

Man, that kit makes a WORLD of a difference!! I honestly hate how the 3G looks without it!

My personal opinion, you can have every mod put on your car, but without the a-spec kit, it still still doesn't look finished or complete. and on the flipside, you can have just the kit and no mods what so ever, and the car still looks fire!

Very nicely done man! Can't wait to actually see this thing in person one of these days!

I like the car in all but dude you seriously need some new cloths. It looks like you shop at walmart. A haircut couldn't hurt either.

for caliper painting.

Be sure to use a Dremel to get the old nasty shit off of the caliper. Close your eyes or wear a mask though, some of the stuff that comes off is nasty.

That's what I've done for multiple projects with my car. I just stand there and act like I know what the person is doing.

So I was just thinking, since you posted in that other AM thread with Type-S tails, that you should get a set.

Instead of leaving them stock, cut them open, color match the silver bezel, and put it back together
